Answer 1

Yes, and yes. :-))

"Furious: Impetuous; vehement; boisterous; fierce; turbulent;
tumultuous; angry; mad; frantic; frenzied.

Abandon: To give (one's self) up without attempt at
self-control; to yield (one's self) unrestrainedly"

1913 Webster

Answer 2

Here is the correction to your question, since you seem interested in grammar. You should probably use capitalization as well. It just makes words work better.

Am I using the word abandon correctly? If I were to say that "I am an information junky who surfs the web with furious abandon." Also, is this the appropriate category for this question.

I think I would use the word abandonment in your case, but your choose is also correct.

I would probably not use the word furious as well, it sounds like you are mad at someone more than going aggressively. I think both your definitions are correct here though, just less popular use.

I think just saying you are an internet information junky would get your point out really.

Your category is perfect.

Answer 3

It's correct, although you've used it in a poetic way. Usually when something is done with abandon it's because the person is ignoring danger. There's not much physical danger associated with surfing the web.

Answer 4

the usage of abandon is correct but it doesnt fit with the descriptive word you are using to describe, Furious an abandon are not really two words that would be used to describe each other , it is often coupled with the word wreckless , and thus makes sense , furious abandon doesnt really make an accurate statement,

Answer 5

the combination of furious and abandon is perplexing. Better look them up in the dictionary. There is no point in using them if you don't know what they mean.

Answer 6

Try reckless abandon. It flows better.

Answer 7

i guess you can. it sounds like you're just trying to say that you're passionate about what you do. for e.g., the two lovers met and made love with wild abandon.

Answer 8

i prefer the word abandonment. but then again, I could be wrong!

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

yes.
